Test Report

Top Notch Camera - More features and added benefits, September 17, 2004 Reviewer: Scott Anderson "Sharpsburg" (Shepherdstown, WV) - See all my reviews This camera is loaded with many special features such as an easy to use dial that allows specific selections to a much larger screen that allows you clear viewing of all your pictures even in bright light.

It fits nicely in your hand and the toggle switch for telephoto/zoom makes getting that close up shot a breeze! The camera dock is easy to use and charges the battery as stated within three hours. I've also purchased a 512 mg card and at the 5 mega pixels setting the DX7590 can store 315 pictures.

When you turn on the camera it helps you with each setting, allowing you to pick the right one for the job and even going as far as telling you to turn on the flash or hold the camera steady.

The pictures from the camera are bright, colorful and crisp and ready to be printed out. The camera allows you easy transfer of the pcitures between camera and printer or computer and the colors come alive with the right color printer. Even on draft mode the pics are decent quality. The internal settings allow for easy saving and documentation of special events in folders as well as individual pictures.

The only minor issue with the camera is that a proper hand hold on the left side might give the users better stability. The right side offers an easy hand hold with flip up access to the memory card.

Over all this camera is one excellent camera and one excellent buy for under $500.00. The entire package, including zoom, 32 mg internal memory, charging dock and 5mg pixel capabilities make this a great buy!

Highly recommended!

Many pluses. Few minuses., November 17, 2004 Reviewer: L. Sanchez (Albuquerque, NM United States) - See all my reviews I've taken a lot of pictures with this camera as well as with many other digital cameras. I rank this camera near the top for cameras in this price range.

Rather than going through all of the features, I'm going to comment on what I think makes this camera stand out and what I think this camera lacks.

Two of the things that make this camera really stand out are:
1. It has a huge lens, and
2. The lens is made out of glass, not plastic.

I believe that these two factors make more of a difference in photo quality than other things, such as a high mega pixel count. You can really see the quality in the photos that this camera takes. The colors are accurate. The images are sharp. And there is no noise when you take a low light, flash photo.

Other nice things about this camera:
The flash is more than adequate. The 2.2" LCD is really nice. The movies it takes are decent and you have unlimited movie time. It has a ton of user options and features. And of course, the zoom on this camera is incredible for the size and price. This camera has many, many nice things about it, too numerous to go into here.


The down sides are few. One of them is that the camera is big. I really can't consider it a "pocket" camera because it simply won't fit in your pocket. But that's the trade off for the big lens and the huge zoom.

This camera also has some difficulty focusing in low light. This is the reason I didn't give it 5 stars. Kodak did improve on this from the previous version of this camera (the DX6490) but every camera manufacturer should add that little red light that shines on the subject so that the camera can achieve a proper focus in low light. This is the one feature that I think this, and all cameras that don't have a manual focus, should absolutely have.


If you're looking for a pocket camera, this probably won't suit your needs. Just remember that most, if not all pocket cameras in this price range have really small, plastic lenses. Usually this means a very noticeable sacrifice in image quality (the Sony-T1 is an example of this).

Before you buy this camera, I would recommend you look into the Fugifilm Finepix S5000 and S5100. These are also excellent cameras, but I prefer the Kodak.



Useless camera!, December 31, 2004 Reviewer: Steven L. Goldstein (Webster, NY USA) - Before I tell you about the problem I had with this camera, let me explain something about myself (this is important because if I was reading the review I'm about to write without knowing about the author, I'd think the author must be some kind of a nut case; this camera has been reviewed so positively that I can't believe what I'm about to tell you myself).

First, before getting involved in digital photography, I was a successful amateur photographer with an old Pentax manual SLR camera. I understand what terms like shutter-priority and aperture-priority mean. Also, after the old Pentax, I've been successfully using an Olympus C-3030 digital camera for 4 years now. This is the camera I'm trying to replace because I want a more powerful zoom. So I do have experience with digital cameras. And finally, I work in a technical field, so I'm good with computers and other technical products. OK, enough about myself. Let's discuss the camera.

I can't believe how unreliably the DX7590 achieves proper focus! The camera gives me the green bracket indicator letting me know that it thinks it has focused on the subject, but at least 50% of the time, it's wrong! Sometimes it's so far out of focus that I can see it on the display before I take the picture. Sometimes it looks in focus on the display so I'll take the picture, only to discover that the shot is out of focus when I review the picture later.

I get the same result regardless of how zoomed in/out I am; what PASM mode I use; what focus mode I use (there are three focus modes, none of which is manual focus); or what shutter speed is used.

Believing that I must have received a lemon, I returned the first DX7590 to Amazon for an exchange. After all, a camera that has received such positive reviews CAN'T have a problem with a fundamental function like focus, right?

Wrong! The second DX7590 behaved exactly the same way! So now I'm sending the camera back to Amazon for a refund, and am starting my research over again to see what I should buy instead.

Good luck to you if you buy the DX7590. No, you don't need new glasses. It's the camera that's out of focus!

Really a great camera, even for beginners, December 29, 2004 Reviewer: U. of O. Alum "Go Ducks!" (Springfield, OR, USA) - This is my first modern digital camera. Years ago, I had one of the early Apple-branded digital cameras that was more of a novelty than a true camera. I was waiting for both some specific features, a good price for those features, and quality printing at a good price. I feel like with that camera and with digital printing services at places like Costco and Walgreen's, this was the time.

The camera functions great. I'm a basic user, so I'm still exploring some of the awesome features. A biggie for me is the optical zoom. A 10X optical zoom is not very common but really important to get quality prints when you zoom. This camera won't let you down there.

Of course, you'll want to get a memory card for your camera. The camera has 32MB built-in (great for spill-over), but I bought a 512MB card that lets me store over 150 high-quality pictures. Well worth the investment, trust me.

The battery life so far has been really great. Kodak says I can leave the camera in the dock (but I hate leaving things on a trickle charger - I'm old school and have wrecked too many batteries by overcharging), so I only charge as needed. I've gone days (like over the holidays) taking pictures with no need to recharge.

The transfer via the dock is pretty slick - just dock the camera, hit the transfer button, and let it go. I'm using USB 1.1 and it works great. I did buy a memory card reader too (in case I needed pictures off the camera but the camera wasn't available), but so far it's been easier to just use the dock.

The software that comes with the camera is good - but very basic. It allows for basic corrections - red eye, cropping, rotating, brightness, contrast, that sort of thing. I highly recommend getting something else to do heavy-duty editing - like a nice Adobe product. I use Photoshop Elements 3.0 myself.

One cool feature in the Kodak software is the ability to easily upload your pictures to Ofoto.com. I don't use their printing services (Costco & Walgreen's is generally cheaper), but it is a great way to share photos with others (who can then order them if they want) and it's also a great way to archive those photos. Best of all, it's free.

Overall, I've been very pleased with this camera. I've got plenty to learn, but this camera let me get started with taking great pictures immediately.
